Re: 1970 gmc

It is coming along nicely. Paint in a few weeks then build it for good

Now with this one, it idles beautifuly and has a great sound to it, but under load it stumbles and stalls and is a pain to get it started. So onward with my quest to get it driveable!
Replaced all rubber hose that was related to the fuel, put some fresh 93 octane in it, new inline fuel filter. I will drive it tomorrow to see if any of that helped. If not I will replace the sending unit and sock filter and the filter at the carb inlet where the fuel line goes in.

Also today I put a new inline fuel filter (it had one already don't have a heart attack!)

Before:


After:


Paper filter for the carb:


And here she is running...
